  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Like I said, tonight is a brand new episode

  • of my Game of Games.

  • I've loved getting messages from people

  • across the country who've been playing on their own.

  • They have their own versions of the games

  • at home, which is so fun.

  • And last week, I got a tweet from the staff

  • at Gibbs Elementary in Corryton, Tennessee

  • and they played Taste Buds at one of their faculty meetings

  • instead of doing work.

  • So they have their priorities straight.

  • So we found out more about them and not

  • only are they huge fans of my show,

  • but they're also incredible teachers

  • who go above and beyond for their students.

  • So this is them.

  • And they think they're about to talk to a producer.

  • And of course, that's not true.

  • And when I say go, we're going to surprise them using Cisco.

  • Ready, go.

  • Hi everybody.

  • [SCREAMING]

  • Hi!

  • How's it going, everybody?

  • Hi.

  • So I just wanted to say hi and say thanks for the tweet.

  • And we've been looking everywhere

  • for our receptionist, Jeannie.

  • Have you seen Jeannie around there?

  • [SCREAMING]

  • You found me!

  • So which one is Emily?

  • Where's Emily?

  • How did you decide to play Taste Buds at your meeting?

  • So this time of year is super stressful for teachers

  • and kids.

  • We had a lot of sickness, our district

  • has been closed for flu, we've had flooding,

  • and as we were planning in our monthly faculty meeting,

  • we thought you know what, we can't give days back.

  • We can't bring substitutes.

  • But by golly, we can make you laugh.

  • So Lisa and I got together and thought,

  • what's the worst things we can make these people eat?

  • And Lisa, I know that the staff goes above and beyond

  • for students there.

  • So tell everyone what you did for one of the families

  • at the school.

  • This family-- we didn't buy them a home,

  • but we got them in a home.

  • They were homeless and they've been doing things

  • for this family for a couple of years.

  • And just whether it be clothes or shoes or glasses

  • or whatever they needed.

  • And like my momma says, you know you can't do everything

  • but you can do something.

  • And so we've done just a lot of somethings

  • not just for them, but for everyone.

  • But anyway--

  • That's amazing.

  • Where's Joe?

  • I need to speak to Joe.

  • Joe is the principal.

  • Hey Ms. Jeannie.

  • How are you?

  • Hello Miss Ellen.

  • So you must be proud to have such an incredible team

  • working for you.

  • Absolutely.

  • It's a blessing to work with these girls.

  • They have a heart of gold.

  • You know we work really hard here

  • to make sure our kids are prepared and successful

  • and performing academically.

  • But it doesn't start with the academics,

  • it starts with the relationship.

  • And again, you could see how fun they are,

  • and we're just a big family.

  • Well the rest of them don't know this,

  • but Joe has actually been in on this

  • and he's helped us make this surprise happen.

  • So here's what's going to happen.

  • Since you know how to play Taste Buds,

  • we're going to do a special round.

  • When we come back y'all are going to play Taste Buds.

  • We're going to watch you.

  • We'll be back.

  • We're back with the teachers and staff at Gibbs Elementary

  • School.

  • We're going to play a special round of Taste Buds.

  • Emily and Lisa, if you can get each other to correctly guess

  • five items before time runs out, you're

  • going to win a big prize for your school.

  • Are you ready?

  • Blindfolds on.

  • All right.

  • Ready, set, go.

  • Go ahead.

  • Low, low, lower.

  • There you go.

  • It goes on pulled pork.

  • Barbecue sauce.

  • Barbecue sauce.

  • That's one!

  • Lower, a little lower.

  • I don't want any in my tea.

  • Sugar!

  • No!

  • It's sour!

  • Salt!

  • It was sour!

  • Lemon!

  • That's two, Ellen!

  • Go ahead, Emily!

  • You eat it in the morning.

  • Cereal!

  • Go, go, go!

  • A little to your left.

  • You put it on a hamburger.

  • Mayonnaise, mustard--

  • No.

  • It's red.

  • Ketchup!

  • One more!

  • One more!

  • A little to the right--

  • What is that?

  • Further to the right.

  • To the left now.

  • There you go.

  • Dig in, girl.

  • Dig in.

  • You make a salad with this and it has grapes!

  • Chicken--

  • No, you make a salad with it.

  • Oh, broccoli!

  • All right.

  • That's five right.

  • All right, are you ready to see what you won?

  • Jeannie, where's the last dish?

  • Ready to see what you won?

  • Got the last dish, Ellen.

  • Our friends at Shutterfly want to give you

  • $20,000, because they love supporting schools like yours.

  • Emily and Lisa, I want to give you

  • tickets to sit in the audience for a taping

  • of my Game of Games, where you might be potentially called

  • down to play.
